Accra International Conference Centre, Accra
The Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) is a premier event venue located in the Christiansborg district of Accra. Established in 1991, it stands as a modern architectural landmark and the foremost meeting hub in the country. Initially constructed to host the Tenth Ministerial Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement, the AICC has since become the go-to location for national and international events, including United Nations summits, regional ECOWAS conferences, beauty pageants, and live concerts.
The facility boasts six fully equipped halls with a total capacity of 6,000 people. Its centerpiece is the 1,600-seat plenary hall, supported by two committee halls accommodating 205 people each and three smaller meeting rooms suitable for up to 50 delegates each. A state-of-the-art press center and simultaneous translation capabilities in five languages further enhance its appeal for international gatherings.
Strategically positioned near key landmarks such as the Parliament of Ghana, the Accra Sports Stadium, the Independence Arch, and the Black Star Square, the AICC provides convenient access to Kotoka International Airport and top-tier hotels. Its size strikes a balance between the intimacy of the National Theatre and the expansive Ghana Trade Fair Centre, making it the most popular venue for large-scale conferences, exhibitions, and prestigious events in Ghana.
The AICC is not only a symbol of Ghana's commitment to fostering international business and diplomacy but also a vital center for cultural and social exchange in West Africa.
